‘A place so lovely that it seems,
Neither from waking life nor dreams.
A mystery from those mysteries,
That startle shut and waking eyes.’

W.B. Yeats – Muckross – September 1st, 1926

Conservation International is delighted to cooperate with Just Forests forthe Irish Cinema Premiere in CinemaKILLARNEY ofour award-winning short film series “Nature is Speaking” during the Killarney Celebration of Trees weekend. The “Nature Is Speaking” films are CI’s invitation to the human race to listen to nature. Nature’s message to humanity is simple: Nature doesn’t need people. People need nature. CI’s goal is that these films will help spark an international conversation. The best way to start a conversation is with a provocative statement. We want the “Nature Is Speaking” films to serve as a wake-up call — nature’s message must be heard now.
